Awaken Tax is web-based crypto tax software that combines records from public wallet addresses, supported exchanges and CSV files. It organizes trades, transfers, DeFi activity, NFTs and staking records for cost-basis review, portfolio tracking and tax-report preparation.
Import and reconcile your activity
Create an Awaken account and add every source needed to reconstruct your transaction history, including earlier purchases of assets sold in the reporting year. Wallet imports use public addresses; supported exchange connections use read-only API access or files. No wallet signature or private key is needed for a public-address import.
Review suggested wallets before adding them, correct high-priority classifications, match transfers between owned accounts and resolve missing cost basis (the acquisition value used to calculate gains or losses). The Taxes view groups capital gains and income by year. Recalculate after edits and check the resulting totals before exporting. Supported integrations vary in import method and transaction coverage; the blockchain labels on this page describe data sources, not transaction-execution networks.
Reports and tax settings
Awaken supports local reporting for countries including the United States, Canada, France, the United Kingdom and Australia. Available outputs include U.S. Form 8949 and Schedule D, international reports, audit reports and supported filing-software exports. Select the intended country, tax year and cost-basis method; report formats and advanced settings depend on the plan and jurisdiction.
The software prepares the crypto records and reports used for filing. It does not by itself prepare every part of a complete personal tax return. Automated classifications still need review against your source records.
Free and paid access
Plans count transactions in the current tax year. Minnow is free for up to 100 transactions, with portfolio tracking and a capital-gains preview, but no tax-report exports. Fish starts at USD 99 per year for up to 300 transactions; Dolphin and Whale offer larger allowances and additional features. Paid plans include current and previous-year reports and unlimited wallets. Awaken says it does not automatically charge for renewal.
AI agents, API and bookkeeping
Dolphin and Whale include account API access for supported AI-agent or MCP (Model Context Protocol, a way for an AI assistant to access tools) workflows. An agent can inspect records, assist with classification and missing basis, trigger recalculation and generate reports. Read-only keys allow analysis; write-enabled keys can change Awaken tax records. These permissions are separate from the read-only connections importing wallet and exchange data.
Awaken also offers an embedded tax API for product integrations and a separately priced Full Service bookkeeping option. Full Service specialists review and categorize crypto activity and prepare reports, with a quote based on the work required. These optional services follow their own setup and access terms; they are not required for the basic browser workflow.
Choosing a transaction allowance
Dolphin costs USD 199, 299 or 399 per year for 1,000, 2,500 or 5,000 transactions.
Whale costs USD 599, 799 or 999 for 10,000, 25,000 or 50,000 transactions.
Full Service Bookkeeping starts at USD 3,000 per year.
These are the published plan amounts and may change.
